Plus One EXP has been more authentic & supportive than I ever would have expected from a distributor. I'm grateful they take such good care of me & The Walls Will Swallow You, and I'm glad they're part of the indie RPG scene.

Man, AI has really done a number on my ability to remotely enjoy detail-dense, color-graded visual art.

pixel art shows the numerals 1 through 31 over a background of genderfluid flag pride colors. each number is on a section of a blobby, rainbow dotted worm shape that intersects in random ways.

We've passed $31,000 for queer artists. For less than the cost of one AAA game ($60, or $10+), get over 600 games, TTRPGs, books, albums, and more.

I went into this Gen Con mildly despairing. High expenses, little scheduled, and I'm not even tabling. But I met & met with so many fantastic people, none of it felt wasted. Thank you to everyone who shared their convention time with me!

Played @marcelineleiman.bsky.social's High Tide in the airport on the way home from Gen Con. Unsurprisingly, it rips. Absolute necessity for any beach house.

With everything going onโ€”censorship, โ€œbuying to borrow,โ€ the general mess of it allโ€”Iโ€™ve decided to make my full library on DTRPG free. That includes the first editions of Wolves at the Lake, Blueberry Wine, and a few other #ttrpg.

It's not much and they aren't new or shiny, but Iโ€™m proud of them.

Protest movements that stop as soon as they start seeing results fail.

Protest movements that keep going until your whole squad is across the finish line win.

Maz mentoring/consultation signup Are you a tabletop RPG creator looking for advice or support on a project? I'm once again offering an hour or so's coffee and consultation, starting in September 2025. Priority will be given to folks ...

meanwhile, I'm opening up free consultation slots again from Sept, so if you're a TTRPG person who'd benefit from a bit of focussed chat about (a) spreadsheets (b) running a functional micromultinational enterprise or (c) creating books for absolute sickos, hit me up docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

p1: Summer watches as Jeanie, looking startled but purposeful, marches away from their booth. Autumn, barely visible from behind the booth, bemoans the scenario. Autumn: Well, there goes Jeanie. Iโ€™m asked to talk about myself for two seconds and I canโ€™t help but scare her off.
p2: Autumn, head in their hands, leans down towards the table as Summer pats their back. Summer: Come on, it wasnโ€™t that bad. At least you were smiling! Or, well, you were for sure showing your teeth. A: Ugh I knew I couldnโ€™t do thisโ€ฆ she must think Iโ€™m such a freak
p3: Jeanie walks towards the bar, rubbing her hands together nervously. Jeanie, thinking: I canโ€™t believe itโ€ฆ zines! Only the most interesting and sexually dynamic people make those! And they know themself so well -- I feel like I donโ€™t know anything! They both must think Iโ€™m so boringโ€ฆ I gotta show them Iโ€™m coolโ€ฆ exciting!
p4: Jeanie, looking scared, slams her hands down on the bar, startling the raccoon bartender who is popping the bottlecap off a beer. J: GIVE ME AS MANY DRINKS AS IT TAKES TO MAKE ME EXCITING, please

Not in frame: the 2/5โญ rating. Three people, who did not buy the game, gave it a 1/5. One included a review: "WHAT THE FUCK!" As a meditation exercise focused on affirmation through externalization, this is not provocative... unless you hate queers, in which case I guess it's unconscionable.

My meditation game, Roosting With Your Hot Chicken Boyfriend, was shadowbanned off Itch. However, it wasn't tagged as an Adult or NSFW game. I wonder which of these tags got it hidden?

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab.

Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls.

If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.

Roosting With Your Hot Chicken Boyfriend by Will Uhl A single player meditation game about emotional cleansing and growth via externalization

My meditation game Roosting With Your Hot Chicken Boyfriend did not have any Adult/Erotic tag. Sure does have LGBT and Furry!
